Sir James George Frazer's The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion is a broad comparative study of mythology and religion. Treating religion as a cultural phenomenon rather than discussing it from a theological perspective, the effect of The Golden Bough on both European literature and the emerging discipline of anthropology was substantial. The pioneering anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski said of it: "No sooner had I read this great work than I became immersed in it and enslaved by it. I realized then that anthropology, as presented by Sir James Frazer, is a great science, worthy of as much devotion as any of her elder and more exact studies and I became bound to the service of Frazerian anthropology."
Un classico dell'etnologia. Pochi libri nella storia della scienza hanno mai mostrato tanta aggressività e vitalità quanto questo libro di Sir J G Frazer. opera In 12 volumi, pubblicata tra il 1911 e il 1915 e abbreviata dallo stesso autore nel 1922. L'impostazione teoretica, l'ideologia e la tensione morale che contiene il libro certamente non appartengono al nostro tempo. Perciò può essere definito un classico. Frazer non ama il magico, maneggia con insolenza il mondo dei primitivi torvo e demoniaco, la sua prosa rimane elegante e civilissima esorcizza l'atroce fascino dei riti disperati e crideli, ma offre un accesso umano e agevole a quell'oscuro intrigo di miti, favole, angosce e speranze, opera tradotta in immagini e gesti collettivi che ancora alimenta la nostra esistenza.

In the Fricktal, Switzerland, at Whitsuntide boys go out into a wood and swathe one of their number in leafy boughs. He is called the Whitsuntide-lout, and being mounted on horseback with a green branch in his hand he is led back into the village. At the village-well a halt is called and the leaf-clad lout is dismounted and ducked in the trough. Thereby he acquires the right of sprinkling water on everybody, and he exercises the right specially on girls and street urchins. The urchins march before him in bands begging him to give them a Whitsuntide wetting.

Frazer's own 1922 abridgment of his 12-volume work, originally published in two volumes but now usually published in one. Please don't combine with the multi-volume (8 to 15 volumes) sets, with any of its separate volumes, nor with either of the the "new" abridgments edited by Theodore Gaster (1959) or Robert Fraser (1998), nor with any edition titled Illustrated Golden Bough, of which there are at least two with different editors doing the abridgment, unless you know they are using the 1922 Frazer text. To add to the confusion, some editions claim to be "unabridged" because they are unabridged from Frazer's original 1890 two-volume publication, not the best-known multi-volume third edition (1906-1915).
